Drum to Disc Brake Conversion

[Guest]

Hi,

I am considering converting my car from drum brakes to disc brakes. My car is a 67 Toronado, and the donor car is a 75 Eldorado. Are these compatible? Does anyone have a parts list that I would need to salvage from the donor car?

Thanks! Steve

You'll have to change the ball joints and tierod ends to 73-later parts in order to fit the 1975 spindles to the 1967 car. Other than that, it is pretty much a bolt in swap if the Eldo is a vacuum power booster car. Hydro-Boost stuff is a bit different.

From the donor car, get:

-spindles

-calipers and m/c (for cores)

-vacuum booster

-proportioning valve

-steel lines for front of car incl lines from m/c to prop valve (you should be able to get repros from Inline Tube if they wring off)

-ball joints and tierod ends if you feel comfortable with the used stuff, though I'd use new ones

-the disc brake compatible wheels from the Eldorado. 67 Toro used both disc and non-disc type wheels

NEW rubber hoses.

Think that covers everything. Good luck.
